Quite simply, this is the instance of a very large rider riding on a very small animal. It's often spotted in comedies as a way of providing comic relief if the rider is too intimidating to suit the tone of the story. The implications of this situation are very rarely discussed; as far as anyone will see, the mount will never tire out from carrying such a heavy weight or appear harmed in any way. A variation is to have the person riding a tiny vehicle instead. |

Defied in Belgarath The Sorcerer; Algar doesn't want to ride because he's so big in comparison to a horse that his feet would drag on the ground. This is mostly because Algar, his brothers, and his father are all very large even by Alorn standards. According to Belgarath, horses at this time (post-cracking of the world, but still very early in the planet's history) were also much smaller than "modern" horses. (Within 16 years, Algar's people have managed to breed horses large enough for Algar to ride. There's no word on whether Belar cheated or David Eddings flunked biology.) | |

Samurai Jack: "Jack Vs. Aku." Aku starts the episode by ordering a minion over the phone like a pizza. He receives a large, brutish ogre-like creature several times larger than Aku himself, whom he orders to destroy Jack. The ogre proceeds to travel to Jack... by driving a rather mundane little car that is far too small for him, billowing expansively out its open windows. | |

Happens in the The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers short "Volcano of Venom!"; Enk wants to use the small bike for the jump stunt but Adi gets on first and makes him take the big one. Enk ends up flying over the horizon while Adi barely makes it to the end of the ramp. | |

The Oblongs: the Valley kids sneak into a Hill's birthday party and are discovered. Milo jumps on a tiny pony that, despite its incredibly rapid legs movements, goes nowhere fast. Two bullies jump on similar ponies but discover they are not catching up to Milo. They jump off their horses and, in two steps, capture him. | |

PAW Patrol: In one episode, Marshall and Skye end up getting tangled up together in a jump rope. When Ryder calls the pups, Marshall heads to the lookout carrying Skye on his back, but before they get to the elevator, Skye somehow flips over and carries Marshall on her back the rest of the way. Taken to a much bigger level in "Pups Save a Giant Bone" when Marshall winds up picking up all the pups and taking them into the elevator, and all six pups end up in a weird piled-up position...with Skye on the bottom! In "Pups Save the PAW Patroller", Skye comes flying into the elevator with Marshall riding on her back. In "Pup Pup Boogie", the pups' human leader (who, ironically, is named Ryder) tries to fit inside Rubble's rig. It doesn't work. |

The Donkey Kong Country series is made of this trope. Animals ridden by a large ape at some point or another? A frog, a parrot, a snake, and even a freaking spider. Granted, there are other, larger animal buddies that don't invoke this trope, such as Rambi the rhinoceros and Enguarde the swordfish. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat also features Helibirds, weird duck-parrot hybrid thingies that can carry Donkey Kong around by their talons, but these do tire out if DK has too many bananas on him (and, generally, that game is more reasonable regarding the size and species of the animals Donkey Kong can ride). The prime example is Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, where Dixie is giving Kiddie a piggyback ride; appropriately, this causes her to slow down and not jump as high. In the cancelled spinoff Donkey Kong Racing, this was true of many of the mounts, since you could ride on absolutely tiny versions of Rambi and enemies like Zingers. To see Taj (an absolutely massive blue elephant genie) riding a wasp looks almost ridiculous. See here. |

The Simpsons: After Apu's wife discovers he's cheated on her, she only accepts him back if he follows a list of her demands — at one point, Homer is riding him like a horse. Apu protests "This was not on the list!" Homer cheerfully replies "It's been on my list for a long time!" This moment is made into a "New Yorker" cartoon, one of his wife's demands. Another episode has Nelson laughing at a freakishly tall man driving a car small enough that his knees are by his ears. In another episode, Bart forces Lisa to give him a shoulder ride since he was "The Chosen One". Despite not liking it at first, Lisa soon takes advantage of it when Bart hits his head on a tree branch. |

Looney Tunes: In the cartoons featuring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as Western lawmen, scrawny Daffy rides a glorious steed, but portly Porky rides a diminutive burro that looks as though he can't carry so much as a heavy quilt. Their nemesis, outlaw Nasty Canasta, can also be spotted riding a horse that's much, much too small for his enormous figure (but being a Top-Heavy Guy, doesn't have a problem keeping his feet off the ground). In "Barbary Coast Bunny", Nasty Canasta (a completely different character, but just as big) has a small donkey who, as Nasty ties a boulder-size piece of gold on his back before riding him, wears an Abe Vigoda-like look of hangdog resignation. The "rich, unwary traveller" in "Robin Hood Daffy" rides a tiny donkey that shouldn't be able to hold his weight and the bags of gold coins he's carrying. Inverted in one Yosemite Sam cartoons where Sam bounces atop a horse that is way too large for him and has to resort to jumping off it and beating it over the head in order to get it to stop as he's so tiny in comparison to it that hauling on the reins makes no difference at all. |

The Backyardigans: Downplayed in "Robot Rampage, Part 1"; at one point Uniqua carries Robot Roscoe on her back, however Robot Roscoe is big in the "heavy" sense rather than the "towers over other characters" sense. Played straight in "Horsing Around", in which Tyrone rides a tiny donkey. |

Downplayed in Supernatural in "Frontierland", where Sam rides off at one point to go get help. It's not a particularly large difference — and the mount is a fair size - but Sam is played by the 6'4" Jared Padalecki, so he's about as big as his ride. | |

Elden Ring: General Radahn is a hulking giant of a demigod, but he rides on a scrawny, emaciated horse that's so small compared to him, his leg stumps drag on the ground even though he doesn't have feet. Many players didn't even notice at first he was riding a horse into battle. It's stated that Radahn learned gravitational magic specifically so that he could keep riding his favourite horse by reducing his own mass. Notably, his horse is gigantic in its own right, easily dwarfing the player character — Radahn is just even larger than that. | |

Total Drama World Tour: The five members of Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot, including Owen, ride a single goat. In one episode of the first season, the campers were divided into boy/girl teams and were handcuffed together. The challenge was one member had to piggyback their partner across Skull Island. Geoff and Gwen were a team. At the start, Geoff carried Gwen, but about halfway, the two of them had a nice long talk with each other, and the rest of the way, Gwen carried Geoff. |

Conspicuously averted in Final Fantasy XIV, where characters are given a mount of appropriate size. The flavour text for the Company Chocobo points out the stables deliberately maintain larger Destriers for the towering Roegadyn and hulking Hrothgar, as well as Jennet breeds small enough for Lalafell to control. | |

World of Warcraft: Every race has a mount favored by its culture, and for a long time, certain races were restricted from certain mounts if they were too large. For the Alliance, only gnomes and dwarves could ride the gnomes' mechanostriders (robot emus) since the other races were too big. On the Horde side, the tauren were too large to ride any ground mounts except their own (a dinosaur) and the orcs' wolves. However, a patch was eventually released that allowed anybody to ride anything. If the mount's original size is too small for the character, it's scaled up. Unfortunately, even this doesn't always work. Tauren—especially the men—still look ridiculous on the blood elves' hawkstriders (the inspiration for the page image), and male draenei look silly on horses and mechanostriders. Even with the scaling, it doesn't always seem in proportion. Also true with the aerial taxi mounts. Seeing a male tauren riding a bat makes you wonder how the poor creature could even get off the ground. In one of the early Death Knight quests, the fledgling Death Knight is instructed to steal a horse to earn his steed. A tauren stealing a pony and riding it back to the Scourge base camp is one of the funniest things you will ever see. It's too bad that when he gets his Deathcharger, they are all standard horses, scaled appropriately, and they don't get to keep the one they steal. In Wrath of the Lich King, one of the quests in Storm Peaks involves the character taking on the disguise of one of the Hyldnir — large blue frost giant/viking women who are significantly larger than the player character. If you fly over the region on one of the standard faction flying mounts, your character will automatically take on the disguise, becoming at least as large, if not larger, than your mount. If you are riding a gnomish mechanostrider or dwarven ram ground mount in the area, you wind up significantly larger than your mount. (Especially jarring if you are playing a gnome or dwarf character as well.) This becomes doubly amusing if you're playing as a male tauren, as your mount will actually scale down from its usual size. There is also a limited use version of this with the mount 'Tiny' from the trading card game. You get 50 uses of a ludicrously undersized horse/raptor (if you are Alliance or Horde, respectively). Another subversion: Before the Cataclysm expansion, all Paladins were given regal horses as their mounts, despite how silly male draenei look on horses, as mentioned above. But this would obviously not work for the new tauren Paladins, so they were given Sunwalker Kodos instead. It's possible that the developers were designing them and remembered how odd male draenei look on horses, because now draenei Paladins have their own specialized mounts too. And played straight again with the camels available from a faction in Uldum and some of the larger races. In particular, the Optional Boss Earthrager Ptah has rideable camels as part of his fight mechanics, which never change in size since they're considered vehicles and not mounts. The Mists of Pandaria expansion added new mounts, including cranes. If you thought that Tauren riding ostriches was ridiculous, just wait until you see them riding a twig-legged crane. |

Robin (1993): At one point Shotgun Smith finds himself having to catch a ride in Robin's Redbird, a small armored transforming supercar that really hasn't got room for an adult, let alone a large one. He finds himself kind of wedged in the passenger seat with his knees up near his shoulders, his shins against the dash and having to duck his head to fit. He grumbles the whole way and has to be helped unfolding himself to escape from the vehicle. | |

In Sonic Heroes, in addition to Tails, each Flight team member of their respective Power Trio is able to carry both their teammates while flying (though they do eventually tire out), even when the Power team members are several times their size. The latter especially applies to Team Dark (Rouge with Omega), Team Rose (Cream with Big), and Team Chaotix (Charmy with Vector). | |

Heroes of the Storm occasionally has this, especially early on before they reworked how some characters ride mounts. All mounts are about the same size regardless of who rides them, so it could get pretty comical to see someone the size of Diablo riding a horse meant for a human. | |

In Monster Hunter 4, the Seltas Queen is a good four or five times the size of the male Seltas. This does not stop the Seltas from picking up the flightless Queen and flying her around. | |

While most champions in Paladins are around the right size for their horses, Front Line champions are generally so large that they make the horses look tiny in comparison. Inverted for small champions, such as Pip and Willo, who have to ride standing up and hovering respectively just so they can see where they're going. | |

Super Mario Bros. series: Yoshi is about the same size as Mario in some games in the series. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: The Yoshi Kid party member. He's maybe about half the size of Mario, tops, and yet Yoshi can not only carry him around, he can run twice as fast as Mario can on his own and even fly for a short time, without ever tiring out. He can even carry two people at one point. However, he is a Cute Bruiser (and a loudmouth) who enjoys fighting in the Glitz Pit, so carrying Mario probably isn't a hassle for... whatever you call him. Paper Mario 64, Mario's party member, Sushie, is a fish that Mario is twice the size of, yet she is able to swim in the water with Mario riding on her back. Super Mario 64 and the DS remake feature a small owl who can carry Mario, Luigi, Wario, or Yoshi to great heights, usually appearing in tall levels like Whomp's Fortress and Tall, Tall Mountain. He does tire out eventually, though. Super Mario Bros. Wonder has a power-up which turns the user into an anthropomorphic elephant; said elephant can then mount Yoshi, who is visibly struggling under the weight. |

In Red Dead Redemption, the player can ride (but not saddle/use as their own horse) donkeys, which are comically small and slow. In the prequel, there are more breeds of horse to choose from, with the very common Morgan being a small mount with middling speed, health, and stamina, but easily caught in the wild or stolen off a random NPC in a pinch. On the other end of the spectrum, the best horses in the game are Arabians, which can be bought for hundreds of dollars in stables or as one-of-a-kind horses in the wild, offer the best handling and speed in the game with solid stamina and health to back it up, but look too small to carry any adult, much less Arthur Morgan. Many, many mods exist for the PC version of the game to avert this trope. | |

SuperMarioLogan: In Part 3 of the "Mario and Bowser's Stupid and Crazy Adventure" story arc, after Bowser successfully hatches a Yoshi, Mario coaxes the Yoshi to let him ride him, due to Bowser's immense size. Bowser is outraged, but Mario tells him to ride on one of his Koopas or Goombas. Bowser makes Chef Pee Pee carry him on his back, much to the latter's ire, the result of which makes the latter go into a coma. In the episode, "Shrek's Crappy Wish", when a wish Shrek made turns Mario into a donkey, Shrek tricks Mario into giving him a ride to change him back to normal, the result of which breaks Mario's neck. |

Sonic the Hedgehog Tails can carry Sonic for quite a distance, considering he's half his size and flies by whirling his tails like a helicopter. Same case goes for him carrying other Sonic characters such as Amy. In Sonic Heroes, in addition to Tails, each Flight team member of their respective Power Trio is able to carry both their teammates while flying (though they do eventually tire out), even when the Power team members are several times their size. The latter especially applies to Team Dark (Rouge with Omega), Team Rose (Cream with Big), and Team Chaotix (Charmy with Vector). |

In some episodes of Scooby-Doo, Scrappy is shown carrying Scooby and Shaggy at the same time! An episode of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! had a Running Gag of the entire gang plus the One-Shot Characters all piling on top of Velma to escape from the Monster of the Week. Velma lampshades this almost immediately, asking what the hell everybody was thinking when she is quite clearly the smallest and physically weakest person out of all of them. This doesn't get them to stop, however. At the end of the episode, the entire mansion is about to explode, and yet everyone stands around refusing to budge unless Velma carries them to safety. |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, on one of its narrative asides, mentions that back when their home planet was still inhabitable, the Vogons would sit on a sort of gazelle-like creatures for entertainment. The Vogons are huge, monstrous things and the gazelles were small and sleek, meaning that sitting on one would break its back and kill it... but the Vogons sat on them anyway (not surprisingly, since they're supposed to represent everything daft and stubborn about humankind). | |

Minecraft Pigs are only 88 cm high and 130 cm long and yet they don't seem to mind when a 1.8 metre tall player character tries to ride them. In fact, they will go about doing their usual business (that is, wandering aimlessly) unless the rider holds a carrot on a stick. Spider Jockeys are rarely-spawned mobs consisting on a Skeleton riding a Spider. If the spider is a Cave Spider (which is half the size of a Spider), then you get this trope. If the Skeleton is a Wither Skeleton (who are about 1.5x the size of a Skeleton), it results in this◊. |

In Beast Wars Dinobot often rides around on Transmetal Rattrap in hot rod mode, despite being several feet taller. Note that in the toyline they were actually both in the same size class, but the animators chose to depict TM Rattrap as being roughly the same size as his original, "basic" class form. Which, with some fiddling, can be replicated with said figures. |

Disney's Aladdin features an inversion. The Arab vendor at the beginning of the movie is a comically small man, but his camel, although huge, tires out and collapses. Then again, he was also carrying all of the vendor's wares at the time, but this isn't revealed until a moment later for comic effect. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Gone to ridiculous lengths in an episode of the anime, where the cast had to race on Pokémon provided to them. Most absurd examples are Ash hopping on a little Spoink, Jessie getting pulled by a Magikarp on the water, and what can best be described as Recurring Character Conway being dragged on the ground by a Dugtrio. In the episode, "Clefairy and the Moon Stone", Pikachu manages to pick up a Clefairy, a Pokémon who is larger and heavier than him. In "The Flame Pokemon-athon", one trainer in the race has a Raticate mount. A Raticate a bit bigger than normal, but it is a visibly tiny ride compared to everyone else. |

There is one episode of Fantastic Max where FX was able to carry Max on his shoulders, despite the fact that he's a little bit smaller than Max. | |

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: The Yoshi Kid party member. He's maybe about half the size of Mario, tops, and yet Yoshi can not only carry him around, he can run twice as fast as Mario can on his own and even fly for a short time, without ever tiring out. He can even carry two people at one point. However, he is a Cute Bruiser (and a loudmouth) who enjoys fighting in the Glitz Pit, so carrying Mario probably isn't a hassle for... whatever you call him. | |

Mike, Lu & Og shows a great example of this with Lu using her pet turtle, Lancelot, as her royal slave. Throughout the series, she has sat on him, rode on his back, and used him to give her a boost. | |

During the climax of Klaus (2019), while most of the Krums and Ellingboes ride large toboggans while chasing Jesper and Klaus, Mr. Ellingboe's huge daughter Pumpkin can only afford to steal a tiny sled from a little Sami boy. | |

The climax Quest for Camelot shows Ruber's army, who have been fused with their weapons, running after Kayley while she escapes from their lair, riding warthogs that are way smaller than them. | |

Rift: A male bahmi (the towering giant members of the Defiant faction) on a vaiyuu (somewhere between a gazelle and an Oviraptor). Hard to decide to whether to laugh or worry that the mount is about to collapse. | |

Super Mario Bros. Wonder has a power-up which turns the user into an anthropomorphic elephant; said elephant can then mount Yoshi, who is visibly struggling under the weight. | |

Family Guy: Peter always wanted to ride Brian like a horse, but obviously that wasn't happening. One day Peter discovered liposuction! Yep... Peter has been shown riding on Brian, a water-skiing girl (on the cover of a magazine), and even his wife, Lois (at least that's what the episode made us think)! |

An episode of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! had a Running Gag of the entire gang plus the One-Shot Characters all piling on top of Velma to escape from the Monster of the Week. Velma lampshades this almost immediately, asking what the hell everybody was thinking when she is quite clearly the smallest and physically weakest person out of all of them. This doesn't get them to stop, however. At the end of the episode, the entire mansion is about to explode, and yet everyone stands around refusing to budge unless Velma carries them to safety. | |

In Transformers: Cybertron, this happens with two Decepticons named Ransack and Crumplezone - Crumplezone winds up riding vehicle-mode Ransack even though 1. both turn into motorcycle-like vehicles and 2. Crumplezone is built like a gorilla and about eight times bigger. | |
